Miller columns

[grahamperrin]

Leaning in from a FreeBSD area:

• File managers with Miller columns : freebsd

– and partly from a LIVEstep perspective:

• FreeBSD bug 252122 – deskutils/gworkspace FreeBSD:13:amd64 13.0-CURRENT build failure: ImageViewer: ld: error: duplicate symbol: serverConnection

Miller columns pictured at https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/wiki#user-content-nextstep-nextstep-openstep and https://github.com/probonopd/LIVEstep although I have no idea whether any part of e.g. File Viewer can go towards Miller columns for Filer.

Side note: /probonopd/ above, I just realised the connection :-)

Those are part of GNUstep and written in Objective C, not possible to hook into Filer which is written in Qt.

But there are some implementations in Qt:

• https://github.com/probonopd/dfilemanager and http://tuxdiary.com/2015/10/12/dfilemanager/. It fails to compile due to #include <sys/statfs.h> on FreeBSD: Does not compile on FreeBSD: 'sys/statfs.h' file not found probonopd/dfilemanager#2. Can you get it to compile on FreeBSD?
• https://github.com/mildred/qfm - just found this right now, need to experiment with it.

https://github.com/mildred/qfm:

(I had to run it with sudo without -E or it would segfault - maybe it doesn't like one of our default environment variables an/or Qt Theme).

It is very basic but possibly we could "borrow" the Miller columns from there.

If we don't rebase Filer on DFilemanager, that is.
